Markets

In recent years we have seen large shopping complexes spring up all over the place, very often moving our focus away from traditional town centre shopping trips. But nothing quite matches the unique atmosphere of colourful outdoor markets and each of Northamptonshire's main towns still holds weekly markets, some having held royal charters for hundreds of years.

Brackley Market

The historic weekly general market can be found in the Upper Town square outside the Town Hall each Friday. The Market's origins date back to the early 1700's when it was considered an important centre where the Town Crier announced any news or information. Although its form has changed over the years, it is still a meeting place for many people.

Corby Outdoor Market

Corby Indoor Market

Corby Indoor Market is located in Corby town centre. The market has fixed units around the edge which are permanent and traditional market stalls in the centre giving a variety of products depending on the day you visit. Opening Times are Monday - Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 10am to 3pm

Daventry Market

Daventry market can be found on the town's High Street. There is a wide range of stalls running each side of the High Street that offer a good selection from fish and meat to pet foods. The market has been in existence since about 1255 and has many long running traditions. Tuesday and Friday are general market days, although during holiday times additional market days are held. The road road is closed to all traffic between 5am and 6pm

Northampton Market

Held in the town's large Market Square surrounded by shops, banks and cafes, Northampton market dates back to 1235. Monday is fresh fruit, vegetables, cut flowers and plants only. Tuesday to Saturday are the general market days.
